So, my qustion to you is... what do I do with it?! It is too big for much other than soup i am thinking...
And for pumpkin birthing pros - do i have to age it or harden it or something before i can eat it/ store it?

Hi Ran
I followed you from a comment on Cosmic's blog.
Congratulations on your pumpkin...it is a Blue Hubbard Squash/Pumpkin.
It's said to have a very hard skin and is therefore a good keeper. You could eat it straight away (if you haven't already) and leaving pumpkins in the sun for a few days (but out of any frost) will toughen the skin even more for storage.
Mashed pumpkin can be used in cakes and scones. I pulp them up and freeze it for later in the year.
There's a recipe on this page from Jackie French. I use this recipe to make muffins and rock cakes too.
thanks scarecrow. its skin is hard and we have a fair few of them! not sure where i will store them and my freezer is so full already. i need to convince hubbie we need a new freezer so i can store more of my produce
